Get data from different urls - php

Question

im new to php, I want to get many data and output them from different urls, so actually I made one that works and gets one data.. so far I have searched and looked so many.. but I couldn't figure how to get multiples ones..
so one thing to consider : that yellow text I have highlighted has more than 100.. i mean eid=1 to eid=102.. each one has data stored in it.
my php code is this
<?php
$eType=2;
$eId=43;
$lType=1;
$dNames=drivername;
$shard="Apex";
$session = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_URL, "http://world.needforspeed.com/SpeedAPI/ws/game/nfsw/leaderboards?output=xml");
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "et=".$eType."&eid=".$eId."&lt=".$lType."&dn=".$dNames."&shard=".$shard);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($session);
curl_close($session);
// Get the XML from the response, bypassing the header
if (!($xml = strstr($response, '<?xml'))) {
$xml = null;
}
// Output the XML
$worldLeaderboard = simplexml_load_string($xml);
foreach ($worldLeaderboard->worldLeaderboard as $world){
$rank = $world['rank'];
$name = $world['personaName'];
$car = $world['make'];
$model = $world['carName'];
$duration = $world['eventDuration'];
echo <<<EOD
$rank $name $car $model $duration
EOD;
}
?>
as you can see my code, it works fine and outputs from that data.. I know I can do multiple by coping all the code and pasting it 100 times, and changing each $eid variable value but that's too much and data consuming I assume..

Answer 1

Make a function for the curl calls, put the URLs in an array and loop through the array and use each entry in the array on the curl function you wrote.
function my_curl_function($url)
{
// curl call
return $result;
}
$urls[] = 'url1';
$urls[] = 'url2';
$urls[] = 'url3';
// etc
foreach($urls AS $url)
{
echo my_curl_function($url);
}

You could use a simple 'for' loop.
for($eId=1;$eId<=102;$eId++) {
$eType=2;
$lType=1;
$dNames=drivername;
$shard="Apex";
$session = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_URL, "http://world.needforspeed.com/SpeedAPI/ws/game/nfsw/leaderboards?output=xml");
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "et=".$eType."&eid=".$eId."&lt=".$lType."&dn=".$dNames."&shard=".$shard);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($session);
curl_close($session);
// Get the XML from the response, bypassing the header
if (!($xml = strstr($response, '<?xml'))) {
$xml = null;
}
// Output the XML
$worldLeaderboard = simplexml_load_string($xml);
foreach ($worldLeaderboard->worldLeaderboard as $world){
$rank = $world['rank'];
$name = $world['personaName'];
$car = $world['make'];
$model = $world['carName'];
$duration = $world['eventDuration'];
echo <<<EOD
$rank $name $car $model $duration
EOD;
}
}
